IntrrtotlBft Fuel In t f.naaber Trade of the
Patare.
A writer in the St. Lotus Republican gives
the following valuable foots And specifications
in regard to the lumber production and trade
of this country:-- j
"Ten years ago stnmpnge in Maine on the
Tenobscot and Kennebeo rivers was at what
was considered a nominal value, from fifty
cents to one dollar per thousand feet. When
it can be obtained now, it is sold from seven
to ten dollars. On the St. Croix river, Minne
sota, etumpage was only fifty cents to one
dollar per thousand feet five years ago, now
it averages from two dollars and fifty cents to
five dollars and fifty. Nothing under the for
mer figures is desirable, l'ine lands can
scarcely be found in Government hands. It
is gradually concentrating into the hitads of
fewer parties, and is most rapidly enhancing
in value. There are parties who now number
their lands in rash tracts. Messrs. Chapman
A Thorp, of this city, or the Eau Clare Lum
ber Company, for instance, own over 80,000
acres; Knapp, Stout & Co., of Dubuque,
now connected with the firm of Bjss
& Walkup, of this city , own . and control
100,000 or more acres, and several other par
ties on the Wisconsin, Chippewa, St. Croix,
Upper Mississippi rivers and tributaries, own
and control from 20 to 30,000 acres each.
The business, in fact, has assumed a very dif
ferent phase from that of ten years ag, and
all available or valuable pine land are now
private propeity, and are owned in the main
by men wbo appreciate their value, and who
are fast clearing away the forests and sending
the products to market. Now, with all this
large concentration of lands and the heavy
draft that bas been made on the forests of
pine in the past few years, it becomes a
serious question to the man who will think
what is to sustain this Immense draft for oue
of the most common necessaries of life, and a
demand for which every improvement in
civilization is only increasing. While the ob
ject of those who control this large interest
in monopolizing to a great extent the trade
of the future will be more seriously felt when
the heavy demand that is to come from Eu
rope and prospectively that of Asia) the for
mer of which is already drawing on us for
supplies.
"The lumber trade of Michigan, Wisojnsin,
and Minnesota, for the year 1800, shows the
amount cut as being 2,029,372, 2.5 feet for
the State of Michigan, 317,400,000 feet
for the State of Minnesota, and 9U,iOO,00
feet for the State of Wisconsin. This in
cludes the lake shore and the whole Stale of
Wisconsin, which heretofore has been difficult
to get a report from. The total amount cut
in these States was 3,311, 372,25. feet, and
that to obtain this quantity there have been
shipped 883,032 acres or 1380 square miles of
pine have been removed. It is calculated that
4,000,000 acres of land still remain unstripped
in Michigan, which will yield 15,000,000,003
feet of lumber. While 3,000,000 acres are
still standing in Wisconsin, which will yiell
11,2."0,000,00 feet, and that which remains
in Minnesota, taking the estimate of a few
years since of that which was surveyed and
unexplored, after deduoting the amount cut
the past few years, we find 3,030,000 acres to
be the proper estimate of trees now standing
which will yield 32,302,500,000 feet of lum
ber. This makes a total of 15,030,000 acres of
pine lands, which remain standing in the
. above States, that will yield 58,042,500,000
feet of lumber, and it is thought that fifteen
or twenty years will be required to cut and
send to market the trees now standing. These
figures show the increased rate ef consump
tion during the past year, and indicate with
what rapidity our forests can be cleared. We
will take the older lumber States for instance,
which have surprised every inhabitant at the
early disappearance of their white pine. The
Maine forests have been so well stripped that
not a tree of old growth is to be seen in them.
The white pine is represented only by sap
lings, which will not be of any service, as
lumber, for years, and most of the
lumber they use now comes from Michi
gan. Twelve years ago New York was
a great lumber State, and exported
heavily the manufactured qualities; while
now her pine forests are exhausted and she
has to rely on the lake regions of the West,
by way of the Erie Canal, and from Canada
by Lake Champlain and the Champ1 ain Canal.
Large quantities of hemlock and spruce are
yet to be found in the northern counties of
the State, which in part substitutes for the
pine, and railroads are piercing the wilder
ness in order to bring it to market. We have
now reached a period when the demand for
timber is rapidly on the increase and the sup
ply diminishing. Settlements, too, are ap
proaching the treeless regions of the plains.
I3y what agency the Western prairies and the
country beyond have been denuded it is use
less to speculate.
"It is true that there is a large region in
the vicinity of Georgian Bay and the Pro
vince of Ontario, Canada, as yet hardly
touched by the woodman's axe. But when
we take into consideration the vast extent of
territory of the West aud South to be sup
plied, we cannot look to Canada from the
West for supplies, while the American East
ern is destitute and will require all that re
gion can furnish. Then Wisconsin, Michi
gan, and Minnesota will be the more heavily
drawn upon each year for the demands of the
West and South, and the question is, can any
plan be devised to replace the loss by con
sumption of lumber now being exhausted
with such prodigality? In Europe, aming
the questions that foi the last century
have been important in the ciunoils of
the nations, has been that of preserva
tion and adding to the growth of the
woods of the Countries. Valuable orders of
merit are accorded to the men who preserve
or grow the timber needed for ornameut or
manufacture. And to the Intelligent mm
from England, .France, or Prussia there is
no sight that occasions him more surprise
and pain than the recklessness with wu'iot
he sees our wood cut down in the forest, 1 t
in the transit by carelessness, or waste 1 in
, the manufacture. We Americans are not
exempt from the stupidity that has tmbt
the people of the Old World snoh a fe trial
lesson. The destruction of our forests aud
the denudation of our prairies of tunir primw
tive vegetation have made fearful iuroili
upon our elimate. The rains hive loss
frequency, and when they do oouie are in t4
deluging than ormerly. We are more fre
quently suffering from the opposite extrdtuai
of excessive droughts and destructive inun
dations. Our springs, brooks, aud rivers are
drying up. Our old folks all Jell us that
brooks now more than half the time dry, in
their childhood afforded uonsUnt wtr
power to mills; and as a proof of wh.it they
say, point the mills site long since abn loueJ.
Why is this? Because our forei's huvd I
Since succumbed, or are rapidly disappearing
lefore the axe of the woodman and tuo dras
of the incendiary, and our flocks have de
nuded the prairies of their primitive grissei.
Experience bas established the fact that those
regions, by protection from fire and proper
care, may be covered with a growth equal to
the wants of the settlers, and maybe continu
ally renewed for all time.
Projects nave been strggented for pi tnting
and rearing forests, and yet, while a'.l de
scriptions of timber are becoming more soaroe
in settled communities, and more expensive,
it is nevertheless the conviction that the evil
may be lessened by proper effort in all the
States east of the great plains, and even in
those plains the grand forests of the Cascade
region will furnish supplies until the science
of arboriculture may clothe such treeless
localities as are now appropriated to cereal
cultivation. The process of fostering this
interest should be encouraged, and every
farmer and individual consult their greatest
want. The method of planting and rearing
trees is reduced to a science. It is known
that the pine and fir tribe are generally grown
on sandy, shallow surface noil; other trees
are native of swamps; while the oak, hickory,
chesnnt, and others of hardier and more solid
growth exist in natural and better soils, suited
to their peculiarities. The State of Kansa9
is the first to take steps in this . matter, for
the cultivation of foreign trees, and the gov
ernment is offering rewards of merit to those
who will engage in the enterprise. Mr. 11. S.
Elliott, of this city, as ind i'iiil agent of the
Kansas Pacific liailrmd. is similarly engaged
along the line of that road.
"But of all timber the white pine is one of
the most common necessities; it enters more
largely into use for general purposes than
all others combined, and its preservation
should interest every individual in the land.
At the increased iate of consumption, and the
fearful inroads that are being made on our
forests of pine, the years will soon pass by
when Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin
will be as destitute of this timber as Miine
or New York.
"But the question comes back to us, can
any plan be devised to prevent the waste,
increase the durability, or replace the loss by
consumption of the lumber now being ex
hausted with such prodigality? 'Tis true
that there should be more economy in build
ing houses. Build so as to accommodate the
wants of the community, and not with the
extravagance of room and waste of material
which is so noticeable in the tenement
houses of our day. There is plenty of timber
which can be used in the place of pine for
certain purposes that is equally as good and
serviceable, and by this means the pine inte
rest can be fostered for a much longer time
without much competition or much advance
in prices, and cheap homes, cheap rents, will
enter into the domestic economy of the
people.
AMEMCANGUINSIN FOREIGN ARMIES.
The Demand Tor Arms by Kuropean 3evern

market.
A prominent officer of one of the London
Commercial jLxcnauges nas lately placed the
sum of $3,000,000, wilh the promise of as much
more as may be needed, at the disposal ot a
business associate In this city, with instructions
to purchase and ehipfcas rapidly as possible all
obtainable email arms of certain kinds and
of good quality, with quantities of Hold
artillery aud various munitions of war In
large artoums. ine caoie despatches re
ceived from this and other private
sources show that there is a heavy and increas
ing demand lor good war material or every
Rind lor the supply ot several European govern
ments. The demand for arms is said to be so
great that our Government, which is known to
have still on hand a large surplus, could dispose
of the whole within one week provided prices
were fixed and propor facilities afforded for the
ready transaction of the business. The red
tape delays consume 60 much time that buyers
or agents are unable to make contracts to
deliver at certain periods, and, where weeks or
even months are liable to intervene, there U the
constant risk that the wars will be ended before
the end of the War Department routine is
reached. At the same time strong political In
fluences have sometimes accomplished results
speedily enough, as in the case ot the recent
purchase of many thousand Springfield rifles

wbo wanted them at once, and who obtained
the aid of an eminent Congressmaa to secure
them.
A portion of the arms shipped secretly in
the Yille de Paris were in cases which were
marked as having been shipped direct from the
United States arsenals in diilerent parts of the
country, 1 hey were partot tne several nun
dred thourand small arms which the Govern
ment has for Bale to any bnyers who want them
The modus operandi is about as follows: The
(peculator opens communication with the War
Department, generally through the Ordnance
Ollicerat the arsenal where he finds the kind of
arms that he wants; the Ordnance Office has no
fixed price, and consequently a proposal is for
warded for the consideration of the Chief of
Ordnance; correspondence ensues, the
Secretary of War is consulted, terms are
agreed upon, securities are Hied, and finally.
after much writing, copying, and delay in the
transmission of papers, it is settled that the
buyer shall nave a given number ot thousands
of arms to be held for him on storage at the
arsenal lor a period named, .lie then seeks a
purchaser, and when he has found one they are
fehipped to any given point. In buying arms.

the quality that they are officially represented
to be. llie sultan some montns ago.bjught
200,000 8prlngtield rifles, muzzle-loader
and the Khedive 100,000. France bas also,
within the same period, bought a large number
in this country; and, singular to say, she pre
ferred those of inferior patterns-it may have
lit en witn a view of altering them according to
her own notions. Cuba and various States of
Mexico have also obtained a considerable num
ber of Uncle Sam's weapooa which were hung
on the rack when ne was done fighting.
At the close of our war some 30 or more gun
factories were dismantled; and the machinery
was sold aud shipped to Europe, as secretly as
possible, nut itussia is understood to nave re
ceived most of It. Kussia is known to be busily
making arms of good quality at this time; but
she is not believed to be buying any in this
country, Prussia does not buy here for the
uee ot her army; but her agents have sometimes
taken quantities of arms simply to prevent them
reaching a rival government. Belgium is
not now making arms. Austria is having
none. The French Government itself does
not appear to make exertions to obtain
supplies of arms lrom abroad; but the
several prominent municipalities, such as Lyons
Bordeaux. Marseilles, Havre, etc., are purchas'
Ing large quantities f war material of every
kind, lust as was none oy lare cities in tats
.country early in the late war. The capacity of
the Imperial arsenals ior rapiuiy turning oul
Cbasseoots appears to have been greatly over
estimated: and now, after her misfortunes in
the field, which of course entailed great losses
ot arms of all kinds, Frauce is the most poorly
armed of all tbe natious. The action of her
patriotic merchants ha, however, recently been
very energetic, and they are obtaining arms
w litre ver tiiey can be iound.
In addilion'to the sale of arms bv the Govern
merit, there lias been a very heavy Bale of wea
pons of higher qual ly and improved patterns
by various arms companies In the country, ihe
new Heinlnglou breech-loidiug arm, which was

KeniiniMon Company baa furnished nearly
300,1100 arm to various furwlgn government, or
is dow turning out guns at the rate of about 700
per day to nil orders which will soon bring the
number furnished up to that amount. This
company bas furnished the following: Den

30,000; Spain, 40,000; Rome, 10,000; Kgvpt,

capacity of tbe works. The Winchester
Amis Company are furnishing considerable
quantities, and for the product of tk8 Colt
maun factory it Is kuown that there is a steady
demand.
A singular feature of the gnn-markst is the
number of speculators and adventurers who
figure in it. There are at least 100 men here
and at Washington wbo are concerned in tbe
business f securing, or pretending to secure.

shrewd and unprincipled speculators. Sales

From the N. Y. Jictnivg 1'oU, 4th inHtdnt.
The following official report of the Sanitary
Committee of the Board of Health on the yel
low lever at governor b island was presented to
the board at the regular meeting ibis after
noon. It will bo read with much Interest:
"Health Depautment, No. SOI Mott street.
New York, October 4. 1870. To the Honorable
the Board of Health Department: Gentlemen :
The committee who were authorized to take
the neeestarv measures for thn removal to
Quarantine of those sick with yellow fever at
Governor s island, and to protect this city lrom
said disease, and to Investigate tbe origin of tbe
disease and the circumstances of its introduc'
tion at Governor's Island, have the honor to
present the following report:
"Un the morning of the 30th September tne
Fealth Olllcer of the port having placed his
steamer at tne disposal ot tne committee, an at
tempt was made to remove the sick to the West
Bank Quarantine Hospital, but the weather
proving unpropitious, tbe removal could not be
effected until tbe day following, October 1; on
that day ail inose iound sick or complaining.
to the number of sixty persons, soldiers, women
and children, were removed, ihe bedding.
clothing and other articles that could possibly
have become infected upon tbe steamer were
taken to the steamer Illiuols in the lower bay
and burned, ihe quarters upon the Island.
where tne lever had occurred were vacated, fumi
gated and cleaned. Provision was made for the
removal daily to the Quarantine Hospital Of any
cases that might occur subsequently.
'No communication will be allowed by any
soldier or residents with the infected quarters
upon tbe island, nntu alter irost shall Have ren
dered these restrictions unnecessary.
"Thus, by the immediate removal of all sick,
and placing the island under strict quarantine,
your committee hope they may be enabled to
protect tne city irom me disease.
"The most diligent inquiries have as yet
failed to discover that this disease nas been
communicated to any person within the limits
of the city, except those who have been directly
exposed to the infection upon -the island, by
visiting tne sick as nurses or mourners, remain
ing there in the infected locality long enough to
have contracted the disease. Since the 12th of
September there have been seven deaths in the
city from this disease, all of whom had been
npon Governor's Island for a longer or shorter
period, either as nurses lor their friends or as
mourners at funerals oi those dead of the lever,
But three other cases have as yet been discov
ered in the city up to the present time, aud
these three were soldiers from the Island
on leave. Respecting the origin of
the disease, and the circumstances
of its introduction upon Governor's
Island, from all the investigation possible in this
limited time, your committee cannot but come to
the conclusion that its source has been from
infected vessels that have been allowed to land
and lie at the docks of Brooklyn, ranging from
a point at the Empire stores downward to as
far as Hamilton ferry, opposite to the eastern
shores of Governor s Island. Any Infected
article thrown overboard from these vessels
would, by the natural flow of the tides at
this point, be washed upon the beach at Gov
ernor b island, immediately opposite the quar
ters wnere the lever nrst broke out. un rnurs
day, September 22. two members of the Sani
tary Committee, Dr. Stephen Smith and Dr.
Ceccarlnl. with the City Sanitary Inspector,
visited the Island, carefully examined the cases.
and were unable to diagnose the disease as
vellow fever, beiner further assisted bv Sure-eon
Page, in charge ot the post, who bad been fa
miliar witn tbe disease in the southern States.
At the first visit of your committee to Governor's
leJand, on Thursday, September 28 it was dim-
cult to form a decided opinion upon the true
character of the disease, as by far the largest
proportion of the cases presented symptoms bo
obscure and mild in their types, that a positive
diagnosis could not be made. Two cases, how
ever, which were in other buildings separate
from the general hospital, were so well defined
in all the characteristic symptoms of yellow
fever that your committee had no difficulty in
making the diagnosis, These were recent cases,
"Tbe mild type which the cases have pre
sented at the island from the first has been the
cause of so much confusion and doubt as to the
true character of the disease, and bad up to this
time deceived those who had been familiar with
the disease in its southern habitants even after
the report of Dr. Nott, who visited the island
by request of the President of the Board, at the
suggestion of Dr. Smith, on Wednesday last
that the Burgeons in charge of the post were not
convinced of the true character of the disease
until those well-marked cases placed the diag
nosis beyond doubt.
"Respectfully submitted,
"G. Ceccakini, Ch. Sanitary Committee,
"J. M. Caknochan, Health Ollicer,
"Mokeau Morkis, City San'y Inspector."
ACTION OF THE HKOOKLTN II E ALT II OFFICER.
An order was Issued yesterday by Health
Ollicer Cochran, of Brooklyn, prohibiting all
communication between that city and Gover
nor's Island, in consequence of the yellow fever
which prevails there. A party of workmen, who
are engaged upon the island, but live In Brook
lyn, attempted to Infringe this regulation, by
rowing in a Email boat to the foot of Degraw
street, witn tne intention oi disembarking there.
They, however, turned back again when they
perceived tne neaitn squaa waning tor them.
In tbe evening Dr. Cochran himself visited the
island, and saw General Neil, who assured him
that all communication between the island and
Brooklyn and this city should be suspended
until the lslaud is declared out ot quarantine.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no fresh
cases of yellow fevr in this city have been
reported.
